Crawfordian Linda Jabbour hosts online webinar

Linda Jabbour, the educational psychologist at Crawford International Ruimsig, hosts an online webinar for Crawfordian parents once every month where they can discuss various subjects based on a theme. Supporting your child’s mental health is this year’s theme.

The first two months of the year are over, and the countdown to the end of the semester has started.

“It has been both a wonderful and difficult time as our school has overcome many challenges and achieved many things. We must monitor the mental health of our kids as parents and educators,” Linda stated in her first webinar of the year.

Here are a few of the tips Linda gave in her webinar:

• Spend time with your child as a way to improve their mental health.
• Listen carefully to what they say.
• Be lavish in your praise.
• Punishment without distinction.
• Be reasonable in your expectations.
• Instill a positive outlook in your child.
• Highlight their advantages.
• Teach your kid to be self-reliant.
• Support your child in making deep friendships.
• Promote physical exercise.
• Cooperate in reducing stress.
• Show your kid how to unwind.
• Set a good example for others.
• Teach them how to use constructive self-talk.
